@PhilipDAth I've been reading up about that actually and I've requested the Beta firmware from support. This is a much needed feature.

I have an MX84 that is currently in passthrough mode and behind a Cisco ASA and in front of a Cisco layer 3 switch. When in passthrough mode the MX sources all of its traffic out of the WAN interface which isn't helpful when it needs to reach the AD server that is behind the layer 3 switch. I want to put it in "NAT Mode" so that it becomes a layer 3 device however I don't want it to NAT anything since the ASA is handling all of that. Is it possible to get the MX to be a layer 3 device without having to NAT all traffic to its WAN interface?

That is exactly what I did last night after thinking it through. Thank you for your reply.

As a test, if I plug in a laptop to one of the ports it hands out a DHCP address in the same VLAN as the MX but I don't want it to hand out anything to the L3 switch I just want traffic to go through it. I though about plugging the uplink of the L3 switch (currently goes to the ASA) to the MX only, is that what you are suggesting?

I would like to setup my MX84 in passthrough mode behind my Cisco ASA and into a layer 3 switch. I have it configured as a passthrough from the dashboard but it the physical connections to the ASA and the layer 3 switch are where it isn't working as expected. The MX need an IP from the WAN 1 connection but it also need two other connections to the ASA and layer 3 switch respectively. The current documentation doesn't clearly explain.
